China's first space tourism venture sells tickets
Briefly

Deep Blue Aerospace's ticket sales on Taobao marked a significant step in China's space tourism, as it offered two seats for a heavily discounted price of 1 million yuan, aiming to attract early adopters before its 2026 launch.
The space tourism tickets sold out during the Taobao livestream, achieving significant attention from three million viewers, though the total number available was just two, highlighting both excitement and the nascent state of this market.
Passengers, after reaching the Kármán line, will enjoy about five minutes of weightlessness and a unique experience in a capsule designed for a multi-sensory journey through space.
The Nebula-1 rocket, touted as China's first reusable launcher, is set to launch this capsule, named 'Rocketaholic', with claims of capabilities for up to 50 flights.
